The Electoral College: A Failed School of Thought

Preamble

A while back the Electoral College convened and to the surprise of no one Donald Trump’s election was confirmed. With his inauguration, its complete and utter failure and uselessness has been confirmed. Its failure is illustrated by Trump’s disastrous transition, and his unusual, to be kind, first two days. Magically whisking Hillary into the White House through the College would’ve only bred more chaos and wouldn’t have altered the fundamentally unfair process by which our president is elected.
